Salt, for people of this era, really has infinite benefits.
Especially for a tribe like the Xi Tribe that has already known the wonderful taste of salt and feels that it cannot live without salt, salt is really extremely important and has a fascinating charm.
Therefore, after this man pointed at the mountain that was cracked by something unknown and shouted the word "salt", the people of the Creek Tribe couldn't help but get excited and felt their hearts pounding. Some people even raised their overdeveloped chest muscles, which were moved by the violently beating hearts.
Even the older female primitive who wanted to go back the most no longer talked about going back. She looked at the large patches of white, and her eyes were almost shining.
Salt is a good medicine with a clear and obvious effect. At this time, the courage of the people in the Xi tribe increased by more than 10%.
"#￥WEe salt!"
Look, the older female primitive who just wanted to lead the escape was the first to scream and point at the revealed white color. She was so excited that she no longer talked about returning to the tribe.
After she said a few words to the crowd, she took the lead and walked towards the white area.
The rest of the people followed her there.
Of course she was still a little afraid, otherwise this older female primitive would not have held the weapon so tightly in her hand and raised the half bronze tiger talisman so high.
Especially when they were climbing up the sliding mountain, the older female primitive people felt that their legs were weak and they had almost no strength left in their bodies.
But when she looked up at the half tiger talisman in her hand and then at the pieces of white salt, the older female primitive couldn't help but continue moving forward.
The person following behind her was in a similar condition to her.
The mountain that had just slid down seemed extremely steep, and because the soil was wet, it was very difficult to climb up.
It was very difficult for the people of the Xi tribe to climb up, and two of them even accidentally rolled down and got covered in mud.
However, these people did not go back. After getting up, they continued to climb upwards.
After some difficulty, the older female primitive people who were crawling in the front were the first to reach the lowest point where there was a large piece of white substance, which they believed to be salt.
She stuck the stick-like weapon in her hand into the ground, then with slightly trembling hands she scooped a little white salt from it and put it into her mouth impatiently.
However, many times, the more hope there is, the greater the disappointment, like now.
The older female primitive person of the Creek Tribe was filled with joy and excitement, but her expression froze after she put something white into her mouth.
All the joy and excitement in my heart disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.
The people who climbed up later, after seeing her reaction, seemed to understand something and were filled with disappointment.
But there were still many people who were unwilling to accept and did not want to believe that these were all true, so they reached out and picked up some white things that looked very similar in color to the salt they had exchanged from the Qingque tribe and put them into the empty mouth.
The taste of salt did not arrive as expected, and those who refused to give up had no choice but to give up.
The people who were so excited and happy just now now looked like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooped and the atmosphere was sad.
The raindrops falling from the sky further intensified the sad atmosphere.
Under such emotions, a person who had tasted what they thought was salt not long ago couldn't help but move her lips, just like after eating something, she couldn't help but smack her lips and savor it carefully.
After a while, the man reached out and scooped some of the white stuff, which they thought was salt, from the ground, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
This white, soil-like substance is slippery and soft when you put it in your mouth.
It feels the same when you chew it with your teeth, and it won't hurt your teeth.
It has no taste of sweet, salty or bitter. It is not bad, but it is not delicious either. It is a very ordinary food.
The man moved his mouth for a while and swallowed what looked like white mud. Then his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"W%^@3!"
She couldn't help but shout to everyone, her voice filled with joy and excitement.
Everyone who understood what she meant shifted their attention away from the disappointment that this thing was not salt, and scooped some up with their hands and put it into their mouths.
After this person's reminder, they no longer just paid attention to whether these things were salty or not, but began to pay attention to other aspects.
After a while, the eyes of these people began to brighten.
Because they found that this thing really could be eaten as that person said!
It is not bitter, has no peculiar smell, and does not hurt the teeth, which is very good news for them.
It doesn’t matter if the taste is a little worse, as long as it can satisfy your hunger and fill your stomach.
Moreover, they also had salt exchanged from the kind and powerful Qingque tribe, which could make food extremely delicious.
When the time comes, sprinkle some salt on it and eat it. Wouldn't it become delicious?
So, the crowd that was full of disappointment just now was now filled with deep joy.
This is a new food!
And there are so many more here!
With these foods, life in their tribe will suddenly become much better.
Even if they couldn't hunt or gather any food, with this new food emerging from the soil, they would no longer go hungry!
Some people even thought of using this new food to exchange things with the Green Bird Tribe.
In the past, because the amount of food obtained by their tribe was limited, it was already a bit difficult to exchange it for only salt.
The Qingque tribe has many good things besides salt.
For example, the thing that is different from animal skins, looks beautiful when tied on the hair, and is called a red headband by the people of the Qingque tribe.
For example, something called soap can make hair smooth, clean and fragrant.
And the kind of combs used to take care of hair, and the kind of clothes that are very breathable and different from animal skins that can be worn in this season...
They have been looking forward to these things for a long time, but because the tribe has too little, there are not many things to get other than salt, so they can only bury these hopes deep in their hearts.
But now, everything seems to be different all of a sudden.
With this abundant supply of food that they could dig from the land, they were able to exchange it for the things they had longed for!
It is a woman's nature to like beauty, and dressing herself up beautifully is what every woman wants to do.
Whether in ancient times or in later times, it is the same.
In the past, when the Xi tribe had no power, these people buried their wishes deep in their hearts.
Now that they have the ability, these people immediately want to start shopping.
"#%5@3..."
The older female primitive seemed extremely excited and spoke to everyone.
What she meant was to quickly dig up some of this new food and bring it back to the tribe, so that they could eat it today after the leader and his men came back.
So everyone started digging with the sticks in their hands, and carefully placed the white mud-like food they dug out on the leaves they picked to use as shelter from the rain.
Everyone dug a lot, and after making sure that it was enough for everyone in the tribe, they tucked their weapons made of wooden sticks under their arms, held the white soil food placed on the large leaves in their hands, and walked down carefully.
In fact, the people of the Xi tribe were reluctant to leave here, but it was still raining, and the furs wrapped around many of them had been soaked by the rain. The cool rain felt very cold on their bodies.
It was obviously not suitable for them to stay outside any longer in this state. They needed to return to the cave as soon as possible, drink some hot water boiled in precious pottery obtained from the Qingque tribe, and then use fire to dry the water on their bodies to warm them up.
Otherwise, some people may die.
This is the experience they gained after living for a long time.
Of course, in the past they only did things like avoid getting wet in the rain, use fire to dry their fur and body, and drink hot water. It was only in recent years that they added these things after they obtained pottery from the Qingque tribe and learned how to use it, and discovered that drinking hot water could warm people up quickly.
Fortunately, their tribe was the only one nearby, so they didn't have to worry too much about the food that came out of the soil being taken away by other people.
These people returned to the cave with the white food in their hands. The minors who were waiting inside the cave with a little nervousness, as well as some adults who did not go in and were not strong enough, all became extremely happy after seeing so many white things and hearing that these were edible foods and that there were plenty of them.
For these people, there couldn't be any better news.
发出恐怖巨响的地方不仅仅没有什么可怕的东西在那里，反而还出现了这么多可以用来吃的食物，这样的转变，真的令人极度的开怀。
不少人都吞咽着口水，尝试着吃了这种新鲜的事物，不过并没有吃太多。
这是因为首领他们还没有回来，还没有到大规模吃食物的时候。
他们只能是多喝点用陶器熬煮出来的热水，用来充饥。
虽然肚子里没有多少食物的时候，越喝热水越饿，但肚子里装些东西，总比什么都不装的好。
在这样的等待里，外面雨水依旧在淅淅沥沥的下着，打湿了大地的同时，也让空气变得冷了许多。
时间一点点的流逝，但因为外面没有太阳，一直天阴的缘故，光线变化不明显，因此上很不好让人判断时间渡过了多长，还有多长时间会天黑。
在众人这样的等待里，也不知道了过了多久，溪部落的首领他们，终于头顶着往下滴水的兽皮从外面回来了。
他们这一趟的运气还不错，打到了一些猎物。
让所有人都吃饱是不可能的，不过将之放到陶罐里多放些水进行熬煮，基本上还是够吃的。
溪部落的首领拎着一只猎物，脚步匆匆的往洞穴这里走着。
一方面是因为打到了猎物很是欣喜，另外一方面就是他们中的许多人，都已经被雨水淋得半湿了，需要赶紧回到洞穴中烤火。
一直盼望着首领他们归来的溪部落的众人，看到溪部落首领他们之后，一个个都是忍不住的欢呼出声。
她们可是迫不及待的等待着首领他们归来，然后将这一个天大的好消息告诉他们的。
溪部落的首领他们，只以为是部落里的这些人是看到了自己等人手中拿着的猎物才这样的欢喜，所以手里拿有猎物的人就将手里的猎物高高的举起，没有拿猎物的人就将胸膛挺起，一个个骄傲的看起来像是刚从小母鸡背上下来的大公鸡。
见到首领他们这副样子，留在洞穴之内的人，一个个欢呼的更加厉害了。
溪部落的首领他们，也忍不住将胸膛挺得更高，心里那个骄傲与满足的劲头就别提了。
然而，等到回到了洞穴之内，看到了那些白色的食物，听说了部落里的这些人，在他们离开之后的经历与发现，溪部落的首领他们一个个忍不住涨红了脸。
为自己等人刚刚那副骄傲与志得意满的样子感到难受。
不过这样的难受很快就被强烈的欣喜所取代。
和大量的、可以轻易获得的食物比起来，刚才自己等人所经历的这些，根本就不算什么。
于是，溪部落的首领就赶快询问部落里的这些人是在那里发现这些可以吃的新食物的。
片刻之后，刚刚喝了两口热茶的溪部落首领，就带着人从洞穴出来，在老些的女原始人她们的带领下，朝着那里走去。
因为首领他们都归来了，并且雨也没有之前下的那样大了，所以年纪大一些的未成年人们也都跟着一起出来了。
他们也想去看看那片神奇的地方。
“#￥5WE……”
看着那剥落下来的山体，以及那山体之中露出来的一大片一大片的白色新食物，包括溪部落首领在内的人，都忍不住的欢呼起来。
这对于他们来说，真的是一个非常好，非常好的消息。
毕竟这种白色的新食物，不久的刚才他们大多数的人可都是亲口吃了一些的。
众人欢呼了一阵儿之后，再次挖掘了一些这种白色的泥土状食物，带着回到了洞穴。
“#￥5YU……”
回到洞穴之后，在溪部落的首领分配下，众人开始处理他们今天狩猎到的猎物，准备做饭。
那个老些的女原始人指着那新获得白色食物，向溪部落的首领推荐。
她的意思是可以让部落里的人吃一部分这种新食物，再吃一些达到的猎物，这样的话明天早上，众人就还能够喝道美味的肉汤。
那些个和老些的女原始人一起发现这种新食物的人也都是渴盼的看着她们的首领。
这是一种很多人都会有的心理，希望自己发现的东西，能够尽快的得到其他人的认可。
而对于她们而言，最大程度的认可就是让部落里的人都吃这种白色的新食物。
溪部落的首领被说的很是意动，但想了想之后还是没有这样做。
“#￥@#……”
他对老些的女原始人摇头，意思是说需要等上一等，让人进行尝试，确认了这种新食物确实可以吃了再进行大规模的吃。
“#5WE……”
明白了首领的意思之后，老些的女原始人开口说道，意思是她还有这些人，在刚刚发现的时候，就对这些新食物进行试吃了，一点事都没有，到现在都还是活蹦乱跳的。
为了增加可信度，早点说服首领，在说着这些的同时，她还真的在原地蹦了起来。
当然，如果没有将身上的兽皮给蹦掉的话，那一切就变得更加完美了。
其余几个女原始人也都纷纷点头，并用力的捶打着自己的胸膛，以此来向首领证明，这种新食物吃了真的没有什么问题。
其实这种白色的新食物，溪部落的首领带着人回来，听说了这件事情之后，也进行了试吃，他这个时候，同样也没有感到身子有什么不舒服，但他还是有些不放心。
“#￥%6……”
这样思考了一会儿之后，溪部落的首领还是用力的摇了摇头，同时开口向众人说他的想法。
他的想法就是，今天晚上众人还是喝肉汤，同时选出一个人，让她多吃上一些这种白色的新食物。
连着吃上个两天之后，确认没有事情了，再在部落里进行大规模食用。
虽然老些的女原始人她们，都觉得首领太过于小心了，但首领都这样说了，她们也只好按照首领的意思来。
老些的女原始人第一个拍着胸膛对溪部落的首领表示，她愿意试吃这种新的食物。
其余人、尤其是那第一批发现这种新食物的人，都纷纷跟进，表示她们也都愿意试吃这种新食物。
这种新食物，她们在之前的时候可都是亲口尝试过的，并没有觉得有毒。
而且这样尝试新食物的事情，一旦成功之后，在部落之中的地位，可是能够大大的往上提升的。
这样的好事情，她们自然不想错过。
当然，最终由谁来试吃这种新食物，还是要首领来确定的。
“#￥5@!”
溪部落的首领目光在众人身上划过，然后指着一个人说道，让她来试吃这种白色的新食物。
被他点到的这个人，看起来比老些的女原始人还要老，而且整个人显得虚弱。
脸颊深陷，颧骨高高的隆起，没有多少肉。
这样的人，在部落里之中属于没有太多用处的那种。
所以溪部落的首领就将这个任务交给了她。
领到了这个任务之后，这个人不仅仅没有感到什么恐惧，相反，她还非常的高兴。
毕竟刚刚众人抢着尝试这种新食物的事情，她可都是看到眼里了，知道这种新食物问题不大。
而且，随着日渐衰老，她在部落中的地位已经越来越不行了，成为了累赘一般的存在，每次分的的食物也是最少最差的。
这次试吃了这种新食物，并确定这是一种可以吃的食物之后，在部落里的地位就会得到其高，生活也会相应的会得到不少的改善，所以她才这样的高兴。
原始人也一样会权衡利弊。
在老些的女原始人等人羡慕的注视下，这个老原始人用手抓起这种新食物往口中送去。
这种新食物吃起来软、滑、不硌牙，很是适合老原始人这样的人士使用。
老原始人已经很久没有吃到饱饭了，这时候得到这样可以多吃机会自然不会放过，她用手抓着这种白色的新食物不断的往口中送去，直到吃的有些撑之后，才停下动作。
吃饱的感觉真的很好，老原始人又喝了一些热水之后，打了一个饱嗝，露出满意而又幸福的笑。
这样的一幕，看的溪部落的众人都是欣喜不已。
为她们得到了这样好的新食物而感到高兴……
“#￥5E……”
夜幕降下，喝过肉汤的溪部落洞穴之内，并没有如同往常那样显得安静，众人都是不由自主的就将目光朝着躺着干草上的女原始人望去，期待而又兴奋。
溪部落的首领更是过上一会儿就亲自询问一下这个老原始人是什么感受。
每一次，面对首领的询问，老原始人都是会笑着点头。
这样一幕看的众人更加欢喜，就连溪部落的首领也是满脸的笑容。
这样的问候，一直持续了好一阵儿，才终于结束。
怀着希望与欣喜的众人开始休息。
吃的饱饱的老原始人也开始休息，并且很快就进入了梦乡。
It was unknown how long it took, but the severe abdominal pain woke the old primitive person from her deep sleep. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but bend her body.
After enduring here for a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She crawled up from the ground with some difficulty, covered her stomach and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and went outside to defecate.
However, my legs were numb from squatting, my stomach ached and I was sweating all over, but I didn't defecate at all.
So she stood up and walked towards the cave tremblingly, and couldn't help but call out.
Such noise soon woke up the rest of the people in the cave. After seeing the appearance of the old primitive man, those who were still dreaming were all shocked.
After a while, accompanied by the leader of the Creek Tribe and others, the old primitive man came out of the cave again to relieve himself...
